It's good, but I feel the levels are too stretched out in order to make the Midgar area a full length game.

Maybe in 2040 they will release a Final Fantasy 7 Complete Redux version which stitches all the games together and removes all the unnecessary bullshit.

Especially 11 and 14. 11 already has menu combat!

It's almost great. I was 110% on board with them going full MGS2 and looping-in fan expectations/reactions as a core narrative device that plays extremely well with the franchise's history of spitting in destiny's face, turning it truly into its own thing. It's a real shame they got gun-shy about it.

I'm still holding out hope that they triple down on that and go wild in the sequels.

No love for your made-up things.
The pixel remasters all look kinda bad but the music is the best it's ever been. Except for the opera scene, which somehow sounds like poo poo.

The definitive version of FF1 is the Playstation version from Origins and it loving rules.

No, not unless you really really wanna see the monsters in 3D. You can't fight wild pokemon, only try to catch them, which is how you level stuff up. There are trainer battles, but basically nobody has more than 2 monsters and theyre always really weak and underleveled. Pokemon don't have held items or special abilities so combat is even flatter than usual. Worst version of the OG games so far.

I actually replayed the kingdom hearts games recently and they're real bad. Like, not even in a funny way because the cutscenes are stupid and silly. The gameplay is just awful, and every game is awful in a new and different way

I couldn't finish KH3 because of this. After every major setpiece and climactic fight you get insanely long and boring dialogues.

this is a problem unique to Kingdom hearts 3. The other games had the good sense to space out cutscenes so every 15 minutes you'd get 3-5 minutes of cutscenes. This allowed me to feel rewarded by the cutscenes and take a break to smoke more weed. KH3 has hours without cutscenes and then slams your rear end with 20-40 minute cutscenes after every world.

I played through almost the whole series last year and had a really nice time tbh, especially 1 and 2. I was dealing with some depression and medication stuff back then, and I wonder if maybe you need to be depressed to enjoy the games. If you ever look up user reviews many of them mention how Kingdom Hearts helped them through their parents divorce.

When I was a depressed loser in like middle school I loved kingdom hearts and especially kingdom hearts 2. Replaying them recently, I got really annoyed at how much of 2 is spent waiting for bosses and enemies to let you hit them.

I saw my kid start falling down the rabbit hole of weird speed running stuff and had to explain to him about how YouTube will try to suck you into poo poo for deranged loons and convince you it's popular by making it everything you see, but it's actually just a subset of weirdos and no one in the real world cares. He seemed to figure it out and drifted away from it without me having to ban anything.

I mean I used nicer words than that. It is kind of scary when your kid wants to show you their glitched run of a Sonic stage.
